HANG HEADS IN SHAME By CHARLES V. STANTON President Truman's radio message, standing alone, sounds bold and vigorous. Considered in the light of cur rent State department and V. N policies, past actions and existing pressures, the speech was craven and cowardly a speech for which Americans should hang their heads in shame. The President Rays we want peace, that we desire to localize the struggle t? Korea, that we are "trying to pre vent a world war not to start one." Those are nice words, but will the policies announced by the President achieve those purposes? The President offered terms for peace in Korea. What are those terms? What the President proposes, if we are to consider State department policies as an indication of intention, is com plete surrender of Asia to the Communists and abject re nunciation 01 me principles ior wnicn rtinemaiis naw been fighting and nyiny in Korea. No more disgraceful proposal ever was made by an American in high authority, in our opinion. These are harsh words, but it is time for harsh words. Accept British Terms We can draw only one conclusion from President Tru- mnn'a mpacncrA Wa hnvo ncrpntMd P,rit.ish tprms for lieare in Asia ,n comPrx tructure of life ! . ...... today, the burden incident on earn. And what are those terms? jn(( lnm (wr , farnjly the In return for a "cease fire" order, China and formosa strain of makin? a dollar feo as would ho Hiit-i-onrlp.-od tn flie Rett envprnmpni Thp Rprla far as possible in these times o( would be seated in the V. N. Chiang's Nationalists would j ""n VSuX 1 be sold down the river. But the British bribe probably would result in at least temporary salvaging of her im perialistic investment" in China and strengthening the weakened British economy. Acheson, with his Fabian socialist leanings, has been led by the nose by his Socialist brothers in the British government. Now it is out in the open. What are the President's peace proposals? Truman says the fighting must stop; concrete steps ; factor, must be taken to insure that the fighting will not break out again; there must be an end to aggression, and "a settlement founded on these elements would open the way for the unification of Korea and the withdrawal of all for eign forces." I LI w&upW: p - The Reds To Get Korea Could there poswiblv be a more open invitation' to the Communists to take over Korea? Korea is prostrate after the tide of battle has swept back and forth over the full length of the peninsula. Korea could not possibly support a democratic form of govern ment without long sustained financial aid. Withdraw demo cratic military forces from Korea, and the organized Com munist minority would "unify" the country within a spa-c of hours. The onlv hope for political freedom in Korea 1s continued protection by democratic nations, coupled with financial help until her demolished industries, transporta tion system and utilities can be fully restored, her national economy repaired.- . But how long could Korea stand against the Red tide after China and Formosa had been surrendered to the Com munists, who would be given representation in the United Nations? Disgraceful Proposal Truman exprosse-t regret that he was forced to oust MacArthur because the general would not go along with this program. We ran agree that Truman had no choice othr than to relieve MacAr;hnr for insubordination, unless he was willing to kick out Acheson. instead, and romoletelv reverse State department policy. MacArth'T wants to smash the reds with force, the only thing they nndei stand. Acheson wants to amiease. Acheson and his British cohorts are offering brilies to Rus sia to be good for a time, until we can get our military strength built up to effectiveness. Is anvone naive enough to believe Russia, after receiving the surrender of Asia, would give us time or opportunity to bolster our military machine? Truman holds out the olive branch with an offer to "negotiate." Di we want more of the kind of nemtiation consummated at Yalta end Potsdam? If this disgraceful, craven bribe offered bv the Presi-j dent of the I'nited States is permitted to stand, lower the flags on the grave? of those who sleep in Flanders fields, I and in the newer renting places of F.uropo and the far flung ! shores of the Mighty Pacific, for the heroes of our wars! today and yesteiil.iv will have died in ain.

One of the new puff sheets put out by the Federal Security :gency makes sense. The publicity document, a pint.j- "- sized booklet, answers questions ! .. i,.,. .i,i.i,iij ,t,. tion recently approved by Con WASHINGTON Senator Tobey (R-NH) said President Tru man in a telephone rail Tuesday accused him of threatening to try to have Mr. Truman impeached and that the President invited him to "po rittht ahead."

Tobev told reporters the Presi- i dm) railed him on the phone and paid - "I understand you are going to have me impeached." Tobey said he replied that he intended "nothing of the sort" but the President insisted "I've gotten that information from a source in whom 1 have the most complete confidence. I was told you xjtvl you wore lining to try to have me imiwarhcd."

In a tune ol rising labor markets the ban on pensioned workers should be lifted When the labor market is overflowing and prices are low. a wmk-strctching pro gram might make soma sense. Asia will be the theater of decision. That is the long and the abort of it. Who is right? I don't know, of course. But I was considerably impressed b y Sumner Welles' piece jn the Satur day Kvening Post week or so ago. Welles, you will remember, was President Roosevelt's under secretary of state. His Post article deals with mistakes we have made. One GRAVE mistake, he says, has been failure on the part of our leaders fparticularly in the state department) to read I.enin's writ ings. Lenin, Welles points out, blue printed communist strategy for world conquest. Ienin'i plan was to TAKE ASIA FIRST. Then, with Asia's billion and a half people, TAKE THE REST OF THE WORLD. tf that ii true; our fate will be decided in Asia. I think that in all my life I've never known a political decision that so stirred our people. These words are written about mid-morning on Wednesday. The firing of MacArthur is the one topic of con versation everywhere. The wires are buzzing with it. The air waves are vibrant with it. But that isn't all. Right here In this town, it monopolizes the talk on the street corner, over the cof fee cups, in the stores and the of fICes wherever people meet and exchange opinions. Why? I think it is because people recog nize instinctively that here is a grave crisis in our national career. I thin!, our people have more faith in General MacArthur'! judgment than in President Truman i judg-j ment. I That is why we are so deeply ; stirred. i r.r.ru iin inHiratp that we are facing a political upheaval of the first magnitude, at a result of the firing of MacArthur. Congress is boiling. It seems probable that MacArthur will be brought home !o i tell his atory. It is a reasonable an.,, that if 9kpH he Will COIBP. ' tie believes undoubtedly that he is right. In that event, he will wel come the opportunity to defend his views. ; If he t jmes home and appears before a joint session of the Sen ate and th House of Represent atives, the resulting show will dwarf the big crime committee session that practically stopped business in New York. The crime committee hearings were child's olar. This will be man-size busi- I ness. Will that be tragically bad? I'm inclined to Hunk. not. Before a boil can be lanced, it has to i come to head. Here in America, 1 w e have a bad boil on our neck. W have almost complete lack of con fidence in our political leadership. U that continues, we will be in no I position to meet our responsibilities in the present disturbed world. lf..ha am .tf th ilnrm that i brewing over the firing of General fit EE KILLS LOGGER MEDFORD 4-i.Pi George Pow ell, 49.

Anyone who reaches age 6. on or tie lore June 3D, 19.S4 needs only to have worked about one and one half years on a job requiring social security pay ments, before he can start collect ing retirement benefits. AH this did was raue more dislocat ions in the job market. Many skilled men and women hopped out of good jobs into spots where their talents are watted simply to get the social security coverage. And again you can't blame them. Big spending keeps on deflating the dollar. If labor unions can sell industry on rot-uf-living escalator clauses in labor contracts, there ! ought to he a way to link up the ( outside earning limit on social se curity 10 ine sinking value ot tne dollar.

I The attorney, Harlan W, KeTley, said the news of MaeArlhur's re ! moval by President Truman was i "shocking, but, of couT&e, not sur prising." j "When I nominated MacArthur I for President (at the Republican national convention) in 1948, I ; said that the perilous times w e were facing demanded as Presi I dent a man of stature that we I should not send a boy to do a man's job. The truth of that warn ing is very clear today, j "... not just the Republican party, not just the opponents of : Truman and Acheson. but all loyal I Americans will demand the elec tion of Douglas MacArthur for President in 19.S2.
